Land Act of 1820

Date: 1820

Description/Significance:

This act is significant in that it triggered the settlement of the Northwest and Missouri territories. This act encouraged those settlements by lowering the price of public land and also by prohibiting the purchase of federal acreage on credit. This eliminated one of the causes of the Panic of 1819.
